Colton WA, and Uniontown WA have the air raid siren. They are tested daily. The Uniontown one goes off at noon sharp, the Colton one goes of at 1830 sharp. Since the towns are 3 miles apart, You can hear both sirens in either town.
Don't be ridiculous. Evil twins of local people will come through the tear in space-time, except for one which is actually a good twin (since its double in this universe is evil), and will cause all kinds of pandemonium. When everyone finally figures out how to banish these evil doubles back to their mirror universe, they'll try to send the one evil guy from this universe back with them, but he'll fool everyone so that they send the good one instead.

Fuck you. My father died of lung cancer. It was a month from me finding out that he had been diagnosed and proposing, "Dad, if you could have known your date of death a year ago, would you want that information?",(and asking in all seriousness) to "Oh shit, my father died."
No Time To Cry
Exactly. I already run my schedule on a 24 hour time clock. I haven't used 12 hour time since 2004, and I don't intend on switching back to the assanine AM/PM 12 hour clock that the rest of america seems to be so enamored with. Current time is 1323 PDT.
Bandpass filters exist for a reason. Basic cable is channels 2-23 where I'm at, Extended basic is 2-66. If you have an HDTV, then you can get all of the digital feeds of local channels, plus all of TWC's music chennel lineup. If you are only subscribed to the internet, they will install a bandpass filter so you only get channels 76 and 78, (modem frequencies). You will get no TV.
You CAN always just go downstairs with your cable box key, and hook yourself up, but that's not exactly legal, and you have to know how to do it to specs or otherwise you will get caught. But it is easily doable as long as you know where your residential cable head is located.
...and it's how I heat my apartment. I already use my computers to heat my home during the winter months, and I keep it comfortably 80 degrees in here. I have turned off the circuit to my baseboard heaters, and soley use computers running SETI@Home to heat my apartment. Why do I do it? Simply because it's cheaper. If I use baseboard heaters to heat my apartment, it costs $300/mo. Using my computers to heat my apartment, it costs $115 a month. It's cheaper to heat my place running a datacenter then it is to use residential heating.
$655 rent in a lower middle class apartment complex, not bad, low crime, box for people
$413 health insurance through COBRA
$55 phone bill, no frills, no data plan, no nothing
$45 internet bill, kept for job searching
$55 electricity; I don't run the AC unless it hits at least 85
$200 groceries; I'm a good cook and can make tasty food fairly cheaply though I know how to live on less.
$1423 total.
I undercut you.
$360 Rent, (cheapest 1bdrm I could find in town)
No Health insurance
$19.14/mo tariff line with caller ID for land line
$65.40/mo cable and internet
$77.00.mo electricity on budget billing,
$125/mo groceries
$135/mo car insurance
$50/mo fuel
$148.23/mo (2) cell phone lines with unlimited everything
(TOTAL : $979.77)
That leaves over $200 a month to BLOW as I see fit.
$16k is... pre-tax, in some places, at a fairly low to very low standard of living
Bullshit.
"Low standard of living" my hairy ass. I am married, I keep rent paid, (never late for 5 years, HDTV, car insurance, electricity, land line phone, cell phones w/ unlimited data, 10Mbps internet connection, 3 computers, plenty of meat in the fridge, and the food plentiful.
You know what I take home each month? 1135. Yes, we live in a 1bdrn apt, but both of our cars are paid for, and rent is paid for a year in advance. Do I do this with assistance? NO. I have a 50" HDTV, a computer that would likely kick yours into the dirt, an internet connected blu-ray player, and a home network for multimedia support. All of this on less then $13620/ yr take home. You can't make it on $16000/yr my ass. It is easily doable.
Yes, we need to raise the credit limit. Everybody knows the solution to when you can't pay your maxed out $100,000 CC bill is to raise your credit limit to $300,000. After all, it solves the immediate problem of running out of credit, and who worries about the future payments once you run out of the credit given to you. You can just raise it again next year to $720,000, and keep up the cycle of perpetuating debit. When they refuse to raise the credit limit again, who cares? You are dead, and now your heirs of will are stuck with the bill.
Seriously though, why do we even have a "debit limit", when it is raised every year? The solution to a debt problem is not an increased credit line, it's getting your financial affairs in order so you make more then you spend, and allow yourself enough leverage to start paying down the debt.
So if there are no GUI's, and since most people aren't familiar with the "DOS prompt", I guess that gives Linux a fighting chance to actually succeed in France.:D
A new computer also comes with a case and a new motherboard. It is usually a generation newer, which requires that you not re-use the same RAM, CPU, or certian peripherals. (can anybody find a AM3 motherboard capable of using an ISA 33.6Kbps modem from 1994, [without adapters]?) Can you re-use a PCI 10/100 NIC from 1996 in a modern motherboard? Yes.
Louis Armstrong never walked on the moon. Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon. Alan Shepard was the guy who golfed on the moon. There wouldn't be a reason for NASA to send a jazz trumpeter to Earth's only naturally occurring satellite.
Watch out. By using your argument, that the second or third comer to the party that actually "does it more successfully" is the innovator, you are coming very close to saying that Apple innovates. Just thought you'd like to know. You don't want to fall into any self set traps now, would you?
Fixed it for you.
Apple is not an innovator. They are a marketing and design company, dedicated to the prettying up of existing technology. Did apple create the MP3 player? No. (Saehan's MPMan, 1998) The first smatphone? No. Simon; it was designed by IBM in 1992, released to the general market in 1993. It had no buttons, it was touchscreen only. First PC? No. It was the IBM 5100, (1975). Did they have the first GUI OS? No. Xerox PARC, 1973). Apple didn't ever invent anything, nor are they innovative. They just take existing technology and wrap it up in a fancy package so the public thinks they are a new-tech company.
So, you're basically saying that they made a huge smartphone with an Ix86 processor? (HTC Touch Pro 2 has a full QWERTY keyboard, and a touch screen. When you open the keyboard, you can even tilt it so it gives you the laptop form factor. Why does this qualify as "breaking news"? The tech to do this has existed for at least 5 years in the pocket PC market. My cell phone is still smaller, and has just as much capabilities as one of these crap-tastic huge smartphones. Hell, I can even print from my phone it I wanted to.

Wind power has grown from "utterly insignificant" to "barely worth mentioning", and solar power is still at the "cheap parlor trick" stage.
